Website | EmailLe Procope, one of Paris's oldest cafés and restaurants is full of tradition and history. It was established in 1686 by an Italian, Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli, who brought coffee to France. Frequented by the intellectuals of that time who highly praised the virtue of this new drink, it is where philosophers Diderot and D'Alembert first matured the idea of the Encyclopédie. The historical significance of this restaurant cannot be denied and you are bound to admire the decorative works of this place. Bask in the aura of the rich tradition as you wait for your meals. Classic French bistro cuisine is served here, including excellent seafood and shellfish.
